Nope. Company officers, ('the board'), shareholders, customers,
affiliates, subsidiary undertakings can all use leftcopy.

Okay, so if a license had a restriction that disallowed bachelors who
are also married from using the software, no matter what the
philosophical consensus might be on the ontological status of bachelors
who are also married, the fact that the license intends to discriminate
against them (which is also discriminating against no one) then that
would be grounds for non-compliance under the OSD?

AFAICT, that's a terrible argument.

Yes, but it looks as though the OSI won't get an opportunity to prove
that either way because of some very esoteric ideas about corporations
resembling human beings.

Assuming someone has bad faith intentions is frowned upon here:
